[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 809270, member: 35183"] 6-7 firings with no anneal, wow, those necks should be ready to split on you. I think about 3-4 firings is about as far as you should go without annealing. If you have a custom chamber that is "tight" on the neck and neck turn your brass, of course it will go longer, but for most of us we need to anneal every 3-4 loadings. Your group would be typical for an SPS, which has a cheap *** stock, but a bedding job does make a big difference. Also be sure that when the rifle is loaded the way it is when you shoot it, that the barrel remains free floated. I suggest using a playing card instead of the $ bill to check for free floating. Many stocks deflect more than the thickness of a $ bill when loaded up. [/QUOTE]
